I appreciate how you show right AND wrong way! It helps to have some troubleshooting because oftentimes I follow videos and they show what it SHOULD look like but never address what to do if mine doesn’t look like the video! I hit subscribe based on that right there! I’m a new fan! ❤
Hi Anastasia! I think so far this is the BEST explanation/video of how to use the narrow hem foot. I'm about to make a batch of handkerchiefs using some beautiful cotton sheets that still have life in them (upcycling rather than going to landfill, etc). Wish me luck and hopefully I'll post my efforts on my Instagram account. Psst, love your eyeglasses 💙
Not sure what that one harsh comment was talking about. Must have been having a bad day. 🤷♀️ This has been the most helpful video I've found so far on rolled hem feet! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Thank you. I have watched a few videos and this one helped me get the perfect rolled hem. I have been obsessed with getting this right tonight. Now I can sleep in peace 😅
Love the video. Can you show how to utilize this foot on a project with turning corners (like a napkin), and creating a new hem on a ready made garment (a dress) as opposed to a piece of fabric that is open on both ends?
I started and finished a hankie in an hour with just this for the hem, no pining or ironing! It was hard to figure out how to feed it and keep it fed as I sewed, but once I did one messy pass through with this, a second pass through was beautiful and looked perfect. And after doing the hankie I figured out how to keep it fed so future work will be clean the first time. I used a thin fabric with no stretch (worn linen), so this might be harder if you guys used jersey knit tee shirt fabric your first time. It also was grumpy with thicker fabrics, or rolling an existing worn hem, so I don't think I'll use this too much for mending.
@@BankruptMonkey I’m happy to hear you figured it out. It can be a little tricky to get use to but once you do then it can save you time. I agree that it works best for thin fabrics.
thank you! my question is, how do you finish a hem (if you're sewing a hem in the round)? do you lift the foot and use the hand wheel so the place where you started doesn't get rolled over a second time?
Thank you, great explanation - exactly what I had hoped to find! I will be attempting a rolled hem on a stretchy fabric so probably do it with a stretch stitch or zig zag if that works with my rolled hem foot. What really helped in this video was the "errors" of too much or too little fabric. Thanks (I subscribed)! 😊
I've been sewing some doll clothes and once again tried to use this foot. It can be challenging, to say the least and I wish the sewing machine companies would offer some of the options available for commercial machines. That being said, I found something that helped me (with my imperfect vision): rather than trying to poke and manipulate the fabric into the foot, as many people show, simply take the foot off, put the fabric in correctly, then hold the fabric with your finger while replacing the foot. It's fiddly, but everything about this foot is fiddly.
You're absolutely right, it's pretty tricky to use! I have found that this rolled hem foot is way better but it is made for industrial machines. A few people have used double sided tape to get them to stay on the home machine or you can drill a spot for it. ruclips.net/video/gjCohWkThqE/видео.html
Thank you.. I've tried to use this foot many times... you are very right it takes lots of practice, I still have not mastered it completely but I did give up so you've inspired me to get back to it! Thank you😃
So I've been trying to learn how to be consistent with my rolled hem presser foot... I totally get the "not too much" and "not too little" fabric issue, but do you have any pointers to keep it consistently in the "sweet spot"? Thanks
You gotta get a feel for it… I wish there was a magic answer. All fabrics in it work a bit different too. It really helps if it is a straight edge . You can always rip your plain fabric or pull a fiber out to get it perfectly straight. I hope that helps.
Thank you! thank you! thank you for NOT giving us a 20 min storytime, just to show us how to use one sewing foot! I would have appreciated a little more guidance about feeding the correct amount into the foot other than practice and it changes for the type of fabric. I do appreciate the close ups to explain the seating of the fabric though.
@@laurarosario532 oh sorry. It’s the same process. You just need to really hold it in place & almost push the fabric to the right more. I hope that helps.
I think my problem exists between the machine and chair but I cannot seem to “feed” the fabric correctly. It’s like it just slips away out of the foot and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I’m practicing on a mid/light weight cotton woven (close to quilt cotton). Can anyone explain like I’m an alien who has never seen fabric before? 😂 It’s not this videos fault, I’ve seen about five different tutorials and still don’t get it lol. (I’m fairly adapt at sewing but not with this foot!)
You need to hold the top piece of fabric that’s rolling over to the left … like pull it over to the left a bit to keep it in the roll otherwise it will pop out of the roll.
Im trying to use this foot, but I am still struggling. Lol, putting the fabric into the fold is the hardest part for me. I'll keep plugging away and practicing, though. Thank you for the tutorial.
@Sew Anastasia I am trying to find out what the hem allowance is when using a rolled hem foot. If I use a 6mm rolled hem foot does that mean the hem allowance would be 6mm ?
@@michaelsrowland you need to try it out on your fabric. Different fabrics will roll differently. It means the width of the finished roll is that wide. How much it turns under can differ on the fabric.
The rolled hem foot is the worst foot of all. It's a pain-in-the-drain to feed your fabric straight and evenly forward. Someone needs to redesign this foot. While I can use that foot, it's nothing but a headache.
Um yeah - maybe I'm not very patient, but I'm 3 minutes into a 6 minute video and haven't heard or seen anything that will actually help me use a rolled hem any better then I do by just stuffing fabric into it. "not too much and not too little" is "not too helpful" in my books. Thanks, I'm moving on to someone who can be a little more precise. I honestly don't know how anyone with an iPhone and a ring light can call themselves an "educator" these days.
Thanks for showing how to start the hem! That part really makes a difference!

You are very welcome & thank you for watching. I appreciate the positivity 🎀
Ok now I need to get a rolled hem foot, a walking foot and a gathering foot! You make it look so easy!
These are all awesome feet & easy to use!
@@SewAnastasia please where can I buy this foots from
@@gloriaking624 every where! Just Google it to find the place closest to you that sells sewing supplies
I Love YOU, I love YOU, I Love you! 60 years of sewing and I've never used this foot!!!
It’s such a great foot to use. Happy sewing.
Thank you honey, for showing the wrong and right way,and how to adjust .
For sure! I feel like it can go wrong easily & knowing what to look for is important 💗
Thank you for this brief but effective video.
Have been doing it the long time consuming way.
I have every foot out but never use them. But now I will
Woohoo 🎉 adding new feet to your collection is exciting 😊 Thank you for watching.
Please where did you buy them from
Thank you. I have watched a few videos and this one helped me get the perfect rolled hem. I have been obsessed with getting this right tonight. Now I can sleep in peace 😅
I'm so glad my video was able to help you achieve that perfect rolled hem! Sleep well knowing you've mastered the technique.
Thank you great video! I liked that you showed what happens when the fabric is being fed incorrectly. You make is look really easy, thank you! 🥰
Welcome 🤗 Happy sewing & roll hemming!

Glad it was helpful!
I love a rolled hem! My favorite rolled hem is with my Amber Air!
Creating a rolled hem on the serger is one of my favorite techniques!
How do you start and finish the seam on a circular hem?
It’s one thing to work on practice pieces, and totally another when you’ve depending on the foot to get it right.
Totally. You should always practice on the fabric you will be using it on.
What sorts of things could you use the rolled hem for? I can think of maybe skirt hems or table napkins?
Those or anything that needs to be hemmed really. Blouses, sleeves, ruffles, hems if anything really
@@SewAnastasia i have one of those feet in a box of random goods i have so i will try it out on some stuff
Thank you
Thank you for watching 🎀
Thanks for this video.
💗🎀 your welcome. Thank you for watching
Thanks for sharing
For sure! Thank you for watching.
I can't seem to get the raw edge to fold under. It just sews it flat despite it being it the roll. Help. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you! New subbie here. Take care
Thanks for subbing!
I can't catch the demo since it is covered by the caption. It's better demonstrated if the caption should be placed lower than the video demo
Maybe turn of CC.

You need to hold the top piece of fabric that’s rolling over to the left … like pull it over to the left a bit to keep it in the roll otherwise it will pop out of the roll.
Since rolled hem feet vary in size, please tell us viewers how to judge how much fabric to feed into the foot based on the size of the foot.
Double the size of the roll.
Im trying to use this foot, but I am still struggling. Lol, putting the fabric into the fold is the hardest part for me. I'll keep plugging away and practicing, though. Thank you for the tutorial.
Welcome. Maybe try ironing the end before you insert it?
What is the meaning of a 6mm or 4mm felling foot?? What is 6mm ? What is 4mm ?
It is going to be how wide the roll is.
@@SewAnastasia so a rolled hem only folds the fabric over once?
@@michaelsrowland it folds it twice! The number is the width of the roll

It can be tricky
I agree it's a pain
Thanks! I was about to buy it . Save my money
I still have so many problems with the rolled hem foot 🤦🏼♀️ makes me so mad at myself
Hummm . What problems are you having? I’m sure I can help!
chiffon & silk is a lot more difficult to make a 'rolled' hem
Yes it is. The more the fabric moves the harder it is to control. It takes practice & experience to master it.
Please do not use music when you do a video.. It is very distracting.
@@sylviagordon2183 ok, thank you
It's not so easy to use!
It can be tricky to get it started!
